Tim, The video exists on a database; that is how it is called up. The index of videos on your computer is a database of sorts. Data is not just words but anything that is digitally stored. Videos can be manipulated. Ask chikrodah, who has databases containing digital images as well as personal details how those digital images are stored electronically. I think it is all manipulable data.
A private individual is not a data controller within the meaning of the act and can do as he/she wishes with data he/she has stored as long as it is not libellous etc.
Once data comes into the hands of a data controller and is within a category for which he/she is registered then it is different. John West's video probably falls into the category that deals with membership records etc.
